From the makers of My Life as a Courgette comes the visually beautiful and powerful story set at the edge of Borneo’s lush rainforest. Kéria rescues a baby orangutan from the palm oil plantation where her father works.

When her young cousin Selaï arrives—seeking refuge from the clash between his Indigenous community and encroaching loggers—the three form a powerful bond.

Together, they discover the joys and dangers of this threatened world.
